I recently decided to rotate through my hardware (everyone gets an upgrade, right?) and replace my 11 year old 1Gz PIII box that is in my dedicated cab with a mere 7 year old Athlon XP 1800 with 1GB of RAM.
Unfortunately, taking the HDD drive out of the old box and dropping it into the new one did not work. WinXP refused to even attempt to boot. It just stayed in a boot loop...even if I tried safe mode.
So I grabbed the Fedora 12 Live CD and installed it onto the HDD. I installed SDLMame and GMameUI.
Things seem to be working OK, however, I have noticed that I cannot get MAME to recognize my second trackball as a device for Player 2.
I have two X-Arcade 3" trackballs mounted in my CP. One (Player 1) is connected via PS2. The other (Player 2) is connected via USB.
Both work fine in X-Windows. Both work in mame. However, I am unable to get mame to assign the second trackball to be a P2 device. Anytime I try to configure controls, either trackball I move registers as Mouse 1 X/Y.
I'm sure I just need to tweak a config file somewhere.....but I don't know which one. Any help?
